Congressman Pierce · Jonah:And on my desk here, you see I keep a box of coupons. I clip them myself. And this is to help me to remember to be economical. / That is a fantastic idea. I'm gonna take a page. I'm gonna do this myself. / Did you know that a lot of these have expired?
Jonah:Well, you know, we're all getting together for a little hang at the White House bowling alley tomorrow night. Throwing strikes with the President of the United States.

Jonah · Dan:Hey, Egan, VP wants to see the P. He thinks a bigger head needs to roll, okay? Like a massive Easter Island-sized head. Hmm. No. No. Look at me, I've got a small head. I could wear a child's hat.
Jonah · Dan:Besides, I know about you spreading the Danny Chung torture rumor. Well, that's useless leverage right now, Jonah, because you have all the credibility of someone who hacked the medical records of a sick child.
Jonah · Dan · Richard:You were firing me? What the hell was that? Nothing. It's just jock stuff. You know, just guys having fun. That isn't, Jonah. That's sexual harassment.

Jonah · Richard:Why are you using the urinal next to me? You leave a gap. I've already started. The little one gives me splash-back. Still, you leave a gap. We're not piss buddies.
Jonah:Damn, that's some kind of prostate control. Treasure it, my friend.
Ben · Jonah · Richard:So, you want to know if the president told me who she's firing, right? Yeah. It's me. You don't tell anyone until she's made an announcement. You got it? Yeah, not a word. You swear by everything you hold dear in your hand right now? I do. I swear on King Danny.

Jonah:Wait a minute. What are we laughing at here? I don't get it. Oh, duck 'cause I ducked. Very clever. Very funny. I'm laughing, too.
Jonah · Richard · Ben:Maybe we could play some exit music or maybe push the button that drops the balloons. Shit, that's a great idea. Drop the balloons. Do we have balloons? No. That was just an example. Why the fuck did you bring up balloons if we don't have them?
Jonah:He's going freestyle. God, that is so fucking gangster.

That's bullshit. / You're doing a good job. / Oh, fuck off. / No, this glasses shit, that was dope. These look great. That was a great idea.
Jonah:Yo, Granite State. Hey, how you feeling? / I see that Mayor Block isn't here tonight. Guess he couldn't get a babysitter. Or could he?
Heckler · Jonah:You suck! Go back to Washington. / But, yes, I was in Washington. / And I worked a very high-level, important job. / You helped Selina Meyer screw up this country. / I think she did a fine job screwing up the country all by herself.
Jonah:My name is Jonah Ryan and I want to be your congressman. And I won't back down. Thank you.
Jonah:My name is Jonah Ryan and I... CROWD: Won't back down!
Jonah · Dan:How am I not on 'The Hill's' 50 Hottest Staffers list this year? This year? It's the 50 Hottest Staffers, Jonah, not the 50 people most likely to kill themselves before trial.
Jonah:I am on a career rocket ship to Mars right now, Dan, except I'm gonna leave Matt Damon there because the guy made potatoes in his own shit like a fucking animal.
Jonah:Well, as the late, great Lionel Richie once said, 'Oh, what a feeling, I am dancing on the debt ceiling.'
Jonah · Dan:New Hampshire loves my zingers. It's my personality that has gotten us this far. No, I am the one who got us this far, you sentient enema.
Jonah:Feel my dick. I am rock-hard for you right now, mister. You think I'm kidding. Feel it.
Jonah:I don't know. Maybe I was supposed to learn it in the second grade, but my teacher was a fucking bitch.
Jonah:Hi. Jonah Ryan. Thanks for coming out tonight. Let me know if you have any questions. Hi. Jonah Ryan. Running for Congress and I hope I can count on your support.
Jonah · Polly:Big shoes. You know what that means, right? Uh, big feet? Can't argue with that. Maybe you should run for Congress.
Jonah · Teddy:What are you doing here, Teddy? I'm looking forward to some bowling. Although pocket pool is more my game.
Jonah:I was a victim, but I am not gonna let you define me. Nice blog, Mary.
Jonah:You know what? People like you, you look like us, but there's a little piece missing. You're like a different species and one that I hope gets struck from the Earth because you're a bully and Jonah Ryan stands up to bullies.
Jonah · Dan:Fuck me, Amadeus. Can't even see the guy that Jonah's yelling at. God, Polly's not gonna think that I was yelling at her, will she?
Dan · Richard · Jonah:Wait a second. Richard, tell me you have that from the other angle. Oh, definitely. [FOOTAGE: Teddy shown] What are you doing here? You did the same fucking thing! Literally. Oh, yeah, you know what? You're right, I did the exact same thing.
Jonah:No, I don't interact well with hag-ass old bitches.
Jonah · Jeff · Selina:Jonah voting: 'Who should I vote for, huh? Pow, pow. Who should I vote for? You can't teach that.' / 'I hope he votes for himself.' / 'I'm sorry. I need another ballot. I just need another ballot. Pow, pow.'
Selina · Jonah:Congressman Ryan. / Hello, Madam President. / Or should I call you colleague now? / I wouldn't.
Jonah · Selina:Ma'am, while I have you on the phone, New Hampshire is struggling with an epidemic of opiate addict... / Yeah, I'm not gonna...
Jonah:I like what you did with your hair. Do you like what I did with my life?
Jonah:I think that you are the spaz.
Jonah:Jimmy O'Connor, I've been waiting 20 years to say this to you... I think that you are the spaz.
Jonah:Through it all, there was one person who truly believed in Jonah Ryan and that was Jonah Ryan. This is my dream, that you can believe in yourself so hard that you eventually become a congressman.
Jonah:This is my dream, that you can believe in yourself so hard that you eventually become a congressman.
Jonah:I went home with a congressional fan girl last night... She's got a fucking parrot, and if the parrot wakes up, the parrot's gonna make noise and wake up her mom.
Jonah · Richard:Bring me a change of clothes and come and get me... Well, it's a really intuitive feature. Do you have iOS 9.2.3? Shut up.
Jonah:I couldn't find my clothes. I had to get this out of her dad's closet. She already told me she was a senior at Georgetown. Turns out she meant Georgetown Day School. She's on the math team.
Jonah:How am I doing? Eating so much pussy I'm shitting clit, son.
Jonah:That is assault. You are witnesses. This is assault! Right now, get out.
Jonah:Hello there. I'm Jonah Ryan. Ah, fuck. Mothercunt. Piece of shit. Fuck you. Fuck you. Ah, fuck. Careful. Careful. Careful.
Jonah:Why am I even chopping the fucking wood? It's the 21st century. We don't even use this shit anymore.
Richard · staffer · Jonah:Well, actually, the car won't start. / Maybe call an Uber. / We can't call an Uber. I've been banned for life because I have a low rating.
Jonah:Motherfucker! They're taking a Lyft now?
Jonah:Stop. You big lesbo.
Jonah · Catherine · Marjorie:New Hampshire... proudly casts its vote for President Selina Meyer. I love you. I love you, too.
Jonah · Marjorie · Catherine:Marjorie and Jonah's vote happen simultaneously — Marjorie reconciles with Catherine at the exact moment Jonah votes for Meyer, and the vote is declared for Meyer before being immediately reversed.
Jonah:I'm sorry, I would like to change my vote. I voted for the wrong person. I would like to change my vote, thank you. Where is everyone going? The gentleman from New Hampshire puts forth onto the floor a do-over, thank you.
Jonah · Interns:'I want you guys to get used to two things... killing it daily on the Hill and nights rated PG-squirteen.' / 'Baller.' / 'Baller.'
Jonah · Colt:Jonah celebrates after leaving: 'Fuck that guy.' / 'Come on, let's go. Game on. Here we go. All right, ready? Alley-oop!' / 'My fucking nuts!'
Doctor · Jonah:Doctor to Jonah: 'You have a lump on your left testicle. I just want to biopsy it and we can take it from there.' / 'Take what from where?'
Doctor · Jonah:Doctor: 'I'm married. I have the ring hiding under the gloves.' (responding to Jonah's inauguration ball invitation)
Doctor · Jonah:'Early detection would have prevented this. We really encourage regular self-exams.' / 'Yeah, I know.'
Jonah:Well, well, well. If it isn't the prodigal traitor come back home to suck on my giant congressional ball
Jonah:No. He's a prison magnet
Jonah:The big hand points to the noon and the little hand points to the... Well, fuck, it's the... God, it's 10:00 AM.
Sherman · Jonah:Getting paid, getting laid, son. Zero dollars and one cent.
Jonah:Did you have a stroke, you weird asshole man?
Jonah · Kent:I set my watch back for Daylight Savings Time. You set your watch the wrong way. No, it's spring. I 'springed' backwards.
Jonah:I've had my own bedtime since I was 17. I didn't need a babysitter then and I don't need one now, and it's high time that the government stop trying to babysit all of us.
Jonah:Daylight Saving... not plural... Time has never saved us from anything, certainly not the higher energy costs it promised to lower.
Jonah:Failure to thrive at birth... fuck that. Puberty at 19. When it hit, it hit like a fucking thunderbolt. Third grade reading level in the tenth grade.
Jonah:No, I'm gonna look like that old popcorn homo.
Jonah:One time, my mom brought in my breakfast an hour late like an idiot, so I just threw it on the floor... But it threw off my whole bathroom schedule and I ended up having to poop in a Sunoco bathroom.
Jonah · Kent/colleague:Libertonians. Says what we're about. — No, it sounds like a gay a cappella group.
Jonah · colleague · Kent:I got it... the Beltway Boys. — Jesus Christ, are you tag-teaming this? Those are awful.
Kent · Jonah · colleague:Hamilton wasn't a president. — Then why the fuck did they write a musical about him?! — No, he was our first Puerto Rican president.
Jonah:No, I am the white Hamilton of the Jeffersons, and that's our name.
Jonah · Kent:'Nobody's gonna keep us down because we are moving on up.' / '♪ The Capitol Hills ♪'
Jonah · Furlong:Wait, so you need something from me? — Oh, no, it understands.
Furlong · Shawnee · Jonah:Ah, Ms. Tanz! Rumors of your beauty have not been exaggerated. — Yeah, he's bringing me to dinner. We're engaged. — Wait, what? We are?
Jonah:I can legislate the shit out of shit in here.
Rabbi · Jonah:And Moses led his people to the land of...? — Hanukkah.
Jonah · Nikhil · Rabbi:Shut up, Nikhil. This stupid hat is too small for my head. — Yarmulke. — Fine, this stupid hat is too small for my yarmulke.
Jonah:Oh, good, 'cause all this learning is giving me a yarmulke ache.
Jonah · Nikhil:Oh, Jesus Christ! — I'm sorry, I can say that now and still get into heaven, right? — Actually, Jonah, Jews don't believe in heaven. — Shut the fuck up, Nikhil!
Jonah · Shawnee:Wait, Shawnee, how am I gonna see my dog again? Is there, like, a Jew place for dogs?
Jonah:God, how can anybody jerk off to her with him sitting right there?
Jonah · Kent:Kent, can I have your plus-one? — No, I'm bringing my jai alai instructor. — Female. — Ish.
Jonah · Aide · Jonah:What about your plus-one? — I work for you, I don't date you. — Maybe I'm gonna go hire some women, and I'm gonna make them date me.
Jonah:Well, it's your casa white-o, as you would say.
Jonah · Jonah:You haven't heard the last of Jonah Ryan. — Okay, Jeffersons, sit down. The Black Caucus gets this room back in 20 minutes. I do not wanna piss those guys off.
Jefferson member · Jonah · Jefferson member:Cutting aid to Israel! — Whoa, no! We're not gonna do that. Are you crazy? — Cutting aid to veterans. — Great! — They volunteered, right?
Jonah:Well, maybe the government needs to be shut down because it's broken. And when something's broken, you shut it down, and then you turn it back on again like with a router.
Jonah:And if they didn't want me to shut down the government, then maybe they should've invited me to the Meyer unveiling!
Jonah:And if they didn't want me to shut down the government, then maybe they should've invited me to the Meyer unveiling!
Selina · Gary · Jonah:At least Jonah wasn't here. — Hey, that's positive, see? — A lot of people are saying that I shut down the government. You're damn right, I did!
Jonah:I shut down the government for wasting our money. I shut down the government for interfering with our clocks and watches. I shut down the post office because everybody just uses email anyway. I shut down NPR because they're a total snoozefest, and they said this shutdown was a bad idea. I shut down the national parks so that your parents will have to take you someplace cool on vacation, like Disney World or Cancun or Mexico.
Jonah:Well, Fyvush Fuckhole disagrees.
Jonah · Dan:Hi, Danny. I want tickets to a certain Broadway show that's impossible to get tickets to... 'Turn Off the Dark.' / That show closed years ago.
Dan / show producer · Jonah:You said on-air that Bruce Hornsby was a member of the Grateful Dead. / He was a touring member from '90 to '92. He never officially joined.
Candi (Jonah's fiancée) · Jonah · Candi:I wonder if we should get married in the fall or at New Year's. / Oh, I always thought... / I was talking to my father.
Jonah · Selina · Jonah · Selina · Jonah:Jesus Christ, it's not like I'm gonna rape the president. / Oh! / I'm sorry, did you just say you aren't going to rape the president? / Of course I'm not. Why would I say I would? / Why would you say you wouldn't? / Because I wouldn't! / I think maybe your people should come in, too.
Selina · Jonah:You have accomplished more in one month than most extremely stupid people do in a lifetime. / That's very kind of you to say, Ma'am. / Shut the fuck up.
Jonah · Selina · Amy / staffer:And you'll get rid of Daylight Savings Time? / Oh, my... / Saving. / I cannot do that.
Jonah · Selina · Jonah's aide / Candi · Jonah:Why, because I'm Jewish? / Excuse me? / He's not Jewish yet, Ma'am. / Yeah, but I only have two months left of those Jiffy Jew classes. And after that, it's snip, snip, snip.
Jonah · Selina · Jonah:And as an almost-Jew, I will not stand by with this anti-almost-Semitism. / Why don't you take it up with the Anti-Defamation League? / The fuck is that? / Wow!
Jonah · Ben:Thank you for your input. It's very much appreciated. You can clean out your office. / I don't have an office. I share a desk with Kent. / Well, then you can clean out your half-desk. / It's empty. / You're fired. / Okay. / All right. / See you around never, Ben... / Cafferty. / Yeah.
Jonah · Dan:We're gonna fuck bitches till they in stitches. / Actually, I'm just kidding. I got engaged. / Did you hear that? / Is she a foreigner? / No, just Jewish. / Oh, what's up now? 9-11, bitches! / We're gonna fly two planes into the club!
Dan · Jonah:What is the Host of Christmas Past doing here? — Our interview. Checkers, bitch.
Jonah:Dan, you've heard the old saying, 'You gotta keep your friends close and make your enemies take you out to Guy Fieri's restaurant in Times Square.'
Jonah · Jane:I absolutely am because I hate your stupid, perfect face, and when I was in high school, I used to pretend to be sick to stay home and jerk off to Jane McCabe. / I just can't hear that story enough.
News anchor · Jonah · News anchor · Jonah:Breaking news from Washington, DC, where an agreement has been reached to end the government shutdown. / I'm sorry, what? / We go live to the White House. / No, we don't. No, we...
Jonah · Kent:Oh, God damn it, this office sucks my nard! — A punishment from Congressman Furlong and the speaker and the president. — An astonishing bipartisan agreement.
Jonah · Kent:Let's see if I'm in here. — Jordan, jobs... — Try Ryan. — I know, Kent. I was looking up jobs because they're important to the American people. — R-Y-A... — I know how to spell my last name, Kent.
Jonah:Are you fucking kidding? I'm not in here. — I ruined her administration, like, four times. — You'd think that'd count for something.
Jonah · Kent:Whoa, I'm only up five on Skeevy Deevy? — I went to summer camp with that dude and he was too afraid to get changed in front of the other boys. — I thought that was you. — No, I'm pretty sure it was him. — It was you. — How do you know, Kent? Were you at that summer camp?
Jonah · Shawnee:Babe, did you give up your inheritance for me? — Are you out of your fucking mind? I still have my trust.
Jonah:Oh, dang! What's up, white boys? — Yo, you guys ready to drop that rock? — Gellardi, hit me, I'm open.
Jonah · Congressman · Furlong:Oh, really? Why are you picking me? — Because you're so tall. — Oh, God, who the fuck invited Dikembe Mutomtard?
Jonah · Will:Boom goes the dynamite. — You're fired.
Jonah · Doctor:Am I Jewish? — Your circumcision was a success, Mr. Ryan.
Doctor · Jonah:No erection for six weeks. — Well, I don't know how I'm not gonna get it hard when I'm talking about my hog with some hot 'shiska' nurse. — I'm your doctor, and it's shiksa. — I'll check on you later. — I'm pretty sure it's 'shiska.'
Jonah · Doctor:Well, I don't know how I'm not gonna get it hard when I'm talking about my hog with some hot 'shiska' nurse. / I'm your doctor, and it's shiksa. / I'll check on you later. / I'm pretty sure it's 'shiska.'
Jonah · Shawnee:Babe, so far, being Jewish really sucks. — Will you pass me one of those ice packs, please? — Here you go, sweetie. — Thank you. — At least your dick won't smell like donkey pussy anymore. — Oh, God, I told you that was expired lube.
Shawnee · Uncle Jeff · Jonah:Uh, you can't talk to him like that. — Who is this tranny knuckle-dragger? — Somebody you hired to make sure you don't get erections? — That tranny knuckle-dragger is my fiancée.
Jonah · Shawnee · Uncle Jeff:That tranny knuckle-dragger is my fiancée. / Jonah! / Her name is Shawnee Tanz, and you will treat her with respect. / Tanz as in Sherman Tanz? / That's right. He's my father. / Oh, royalty.
Jonah · Shawnee:Okay, yeah, that makes sense. My teachers had to do that all the time. — No, with us... You and me. — What?
Jonah:Is that before or after I scheduled the surgery to cut my dick off so you could marry me?
Jonah:What the fuck does that even mean? Is that before or after I scheduled the surgery to cut my dick off so you could marry me?
Uncle Jeff · Shawnee · Jonah:I'm so glad I came in person and didn't call. — Goodbye, Jonah. — Sorry. — Come on, honey, I'll walk you out. — Oh, that's nice of you. — Are you parked in the garage?
Jonah:Ow! Nurse! [Jonah alone in hospital room]
Congressman Furlong · Jonah:Jonah! I'm pulling all my financial support. I am pulling this creature right off the congressional ballot and replacing him with his cousin Ezra.
Richard · Jonah:Jonie, look, I have a special treat... [box is revealed to be empty] See, the box is empty to show that all you need to be happy is right here. Well, that's stupid. Yeah, it was a waste of $30.
Jonah:In two years, I'm gonna run against my motard cousin, Ezra, who's been a congressman for, like, two days and he's already passed, like, 10 bills.
Richard · Jonah:Well, two years is a long time. I mean, you could petition for a recall if they weren't unconstitutional. Can I petition for a recall against Ezra? Unequivocally, no. That's a great idea. That's awesome.
Jonah:I'll let you be Aquaman. No tidal wave.
Jonah · Richard · Jonah's mom:Mom, can Richard stay the night? Can I please, Mrs. Ryan? Oh, sure! I'll make waffles for breakfast. Mom, I don't want waffles! Okay, then I won't make waffles.
Jonah · Selina · Amy:I am... oh, I am a West Wing intern. Oh, congratulations. Okay. I just wanna say it's such an honor to meet you. The only reason that I voted for Hughes is because you were on the ticket. Well, I'm sure you're not alone.
Selina · Jonah:Maybe we can pull some strings and get you assigned to the EEOB. Yeah... maybe.
Furlong · Jonah · Selina:One... get the fuck away from me. Two... stay the fuck away from me. Okay? Can you do that? Yes, sir. I won't let you down. God, I love interns.
Furlong · Jonah:Oh, hey, Jonah, can we get lunch sometime? I wanna talk about you being the legal guardian to my baby if anything happens to me and Mary, okay? Yeah, sure.
Congressman · Jonah:Congressman on Brokeback Mountain: 'It's like that fagela cowboy movie. "I can't quit you."' / Jonah: 'Yes, thank you, sir. Butch and Sundance.'
Furlong · Jonah:We'll always have the shutdown, won't we? Huge miscalculation.
Jonah:Washington insiders, they didn't like me very much. So let's send them a message by shoving the guy that they hate the most right back in their faces.
Jonah:which basically means I'm definitely running. God bless New Hampshire. God bless the United States of America and Puerto Rico... if they can vote for president... And God bless Jonah Ryan.
Richard · Jonah:Congressman Ryan: 'Within five years, I want America... to put a man on Ellen DeGeneres.'
Jonah · Teddy:Jonah's sexual harassment roster: 'Emma Gray' is called 'Schnozz.' 'Monster Tits and Monster Tits, Jr.' for Congresswomen Troy and Vasconi. 'All I did was express genuine concern they had bras big enough to handle all that meat. At the Congressional Prayer Breakfast.'
Jonah:Jonah: 'I mean, he's a man too, Teddy.' (about Jesus endorsing his concern over bra sizes)
Jonah:Jonah's apology to Amanda: 'I'm sorry, Amanda, if I behaved in a way that made you uncomfortable or inappropriate. All right? God! And you should try smiling more.'
Jonah:Jonah refuses to sign: 'You are a stone-cold, neck-down hottie. I want the whole world to know we dated.'
Jonah · Amanda:Amanda: 'We had one working lunch, and we split the bill.' / Jonah: 'I split the bill on all my dates.' / Amanda: 'Why would I pay for a girl to get fatter?'
Jonah:Jonah: 'Jonah Ryan will not be silenced. We dated... and the world's gonna know that.'
Jonah · Amanda:Jonah: 'There was nothing professional about my behavior! — Nothing happened, Mr. Ryan. — I'm in a relationship with a good, normal man...'
Jonah · Aide:Jonah gets good poll news from the #NotMe movement. Aide's phone is upside-down; reads 'EWtoN' — then corrects: 'It's still NotMe. — You should lock your screen, dude.'
Jonah:Jonah Ryan's campaign ad: punching senators, kicking female candidates, 'Undisputed President of the United States!' followed by 'I'm Jonah Ryan, and I wanna suck this message's hot clam.'
Jonah · Teddy · Beth:I ad-libbed. / Teddy, improv is Jonah's thing. You should've heard his wedding vows. He did a really funny Chinese voice. / Yeah, I expressed how horny I was.
Campaign staffer · Jonah:Most people are uncomfortable watching a white man kick a black woman in the vagina. / Well, I don't see vagina color.
Campaign staffer · Jonah · Teddy:And, good news-- No, that's bad news. / I'm at less than 5%? / In the plus column, the undercard debate will be first, which means we have no problem getting out of the parking lot. / Oh, no, that's bad news too. It's stacked parking.
Jonah · Teddy:Jonah is doing physical comedy with food at the fair — 'It's shitting in my mouth' / 'He's pretending the potato is pooping in his mouth.'
Jonah:Besides, if I was, you'd know. I'd have retard face or whatever.
Jonah · Sensitivity trainer Danny:Um... mentally retarded? / No, that-- that's wrong. / I see where your head is at, though, and you are technically correct.
Jonah · Sensitivity trainer:Oh, God, is that like math? / Actually, it's just a way of using empathy to help avoid hurting other people's feelings. / That's so gay.
Jonah:I didn't mean like gay gay or like 'This guy and his husband are gay.' I meant gay like, uh, mentally retarded.
Jonah:Is this guy on his fuckin' period? What is--
Jonah:Jonah is caught on tape saying 'retarded' again immediately after his apology — 'What is wrong with you? Are you fuckin' retarded?!'
Jonah · Beth:One voter at a time, Teddy. / But Jonah, there were two of them.
Jonah:What the fuck? I gotta debate Dumbledong?
Jonah · Clark (debate staffer):I'm sorry, you can't say that. / Say what, 'Niger'? / It doesn't matter how you pronounce it, we now know that it is wrong.
Jonah · Clark:Jesus, Clark, you're standing right next to the guy. / What did he say? / No, he said it, not me. / But for the record, I think that the United States should send troops into countries like N-word, and I think it would be best if those troops were black.
Selina · Jonah · Beth · Gary:Oh, look at this. Congressman Ryan! And this must be Mrs. Ryan. Or do you go by your maiden name: Mrs. Ryan? / Oh, either is fine. / No, ma'am, she's my half-sister. / Step. / Gary: She's his step-sister.
Richard · Selina · Jonah:It seems I have been appointed the new Mayor of Lurlene. / Oh, congratulations! / Mayor Splizzle in the hizzle! / Wow. All right. / But don't you have to be a dog? / Well, legally, yes, but it's unenforceable.
Jonah · Teddy:I just found out from my stupid stepfather-- / Father-in-law! / From my stupid stepfather-in-law, that math was created by Muslims.
Jonah:OK, I'm gonna go hang myself from a sturdy pipe, and I'm not even gonna bother jacking off.
Jonah's Advisor · Jonah:You have time for a drink beforehand? / Mmm.
Jonah · Lloyd:Don't math me, Lloyd. / Math is a plot invented by the Chinese to make smart Americans feel dumb.
Lloyd · Jonah:Modern math was invented by Islamic scholars in the 7th century. / You were invented by Islamic scholars in the 7th century.
Jonah:Oh! Saint Theresa's gray-haired gunt, they're fucking again?!
Jonah:I thought she'd be more familiar. I mean, did you at least watch Martin? 'Damn, Gina!'
Buddy Calhoun · Jonah:Whoops. I guess we got ourselves a 'Gift of the Magi' situation here. / I was gonna ask you for the same thing.
Jonah · Buddy:Were you gonna ask for Interior and then settle for HUD? / Dang it. So busted.
Tanz · Jonah:Who said anything about winning? / You. I thought you said I was gonna be president. / No, you did. / Made me chuckle every time.
Jonah:I wish I'd aborted myself.
Jonah:You know who else thinks that I don't have the intelligence or the 'tentrament' to be president? My very own campaign staff.
Jonah:That is my campaign chair, Amy Brookheimer. She recently had an abortion.
Jonah:And that is my chief strategist, Teddy Sykes, and he is an overgrown midget who had to be chemically castrated.
Jonah · Bill Ericsson:And that guy right there, that's Eric something. / Bill Ericsson. / That's Eric Bill Ericsson, and he thinks he's better than everybody else in this room.
Jonah:Math was created by Muslims. / Yeah. And we teach this Islamic math to children. / Math teachers are terrorists.
Jonah:Algebra? More like Al Jazeera.
Jonah · Crowd:Under a Ryan presidency, I will ban this Sharia math from being taught to American children. / No more math! / God fuck America. No more math! No more math!
Secret Service Agent · Jonah:Congressman Ryan, it's an honor. / Oh, yeah! This is like looking in a mirror! / Yeah, a hot mirror.
Jonah · Staff Members:I have always been transparent about how old I am. / Yeah, 55. / I believe it's 53. / Late 40s. / You're all correct.
Jonah · Siri:Jonah, it's your dad again. It's the tenth time today. / Hey, Siri, you fuck my dad? / Siri: I don't know how to respond to that. / Typical woman.
Jonah:Pennsylvania, you have the second-lowest vaccination rate in the nation, and when I am elected president, you will be number one!
Amy · Jonah:Oh, my God, you Patient IQ Zero! / You infected all those nutballs who don't believe in vaccinations! / Well, serves 'em right.
Jonah · Beth:Amy, that only works with fleshy melons. / Beth: Duh. / And sometimes pumpkins.
Lloyd (bio-dad) · Jonah:Hi, Bethy, I'm really sorry I just showed up. / Oh, no. No! No, no, no! / I really wanna have a chance to talk with you, Jonah. / I hate you so much I could walk into a supermarket and shoot everybody.
Jonah · Lloyd:OK. / I b-b-beg your pardon? / OK, you can be my dad. / I can be what? / Aw, come here! Aw, I love you, Jonah. / I love you too, Daddy. No homo. / Sure. No homo.
Lloyd · Jonah:Right now you have a historic opportunity to speak to our better natures, bring the country together. But to do that, I think you have to tone down the angry, incoherent rhetoric a bit. / I have kinda pushed it, haven't I? / A little bit, Jonie.
Jonah · Nancy:Can you get her a pill or something and calm her down? / I don't want diazepam, I want something good.
Jonah:As most of you know, I didn't get a lot of time with my dad, but I think in the time that I did have with him I realized what a stupid loser he was. He didn't deserve me. Or even my mom. All he ever did, actually, was run out on us. First, all those years ago, and now by dying.
Jonah:And I guess I don't even know if I liked him that much, because he probably woulda sucked like all of my other step-dads. And I don't care that he's dead, because I am very strong.
Jonah · Beth:We're having cake pops at the house later. / Beth: Who wants to go dancing? My husband's right there.
Jonah:And when I say Lord, I mean Jesus Christ Almighty, not the Jewish one.
Jonah · Crowd · Amy:And they do-- that's just science. / But the other real killer... is diseases. / And how do these diseases get into America? / All: How? / Immigrants. / Man: Kill 'em! / Yeah-- Well, I mean, we don't have to kill all of 'em. There are some good immigrants. Beyoncé? / Ms. Brookheimer, do you have anything to eat? / Um, I've got gum and Advil.
Jonah:He had this carne asada that I think was a family recipe. That guy stays.
Jonah:From now on, no one in, no one out! / Thank you. No one in, no one out!
Jonah:For the last year, I have been crisscrossing the country, warning America about the threat of math to our way of life. / Yeah! / Which is why, 'President Meyer, Senator Talbot, and Governor Calhoun,' I have something to say to you. I told you so!
Jonah · Jonah's uncle Jeff · Uncle Jeff:Do you remember my five-alarm hottie of a wife, Beth? She just got out of rehab today. Yeah! And plus, while she was in there, she dropped a couple pounds in all the right places, so, she's hella even hotter than she was before. / Kill her! / Yeah! I mean, not her, man, but yeah, sure.
Jonah:Look, I love America, but it is time to face facts. This is a horrific country that is falling apart because it is full of people who are different than me.
Jonah · Uncle Jeff:I thought you told my mom to sell me to a child molester and use the money to get her tubes tied. / Eh, we're family. Come here, you!
Uncle Jeff · Jonah:You know, the Jews have a word for this feeling I'm having right now. I can't remember it. It sounds like three Germans cumming real hard inside something that doesn't want them to. / Oh, Jewish is such a beautiful language.
